"I guess I'll let you do the worrying, then," Ares says. "Well, take care. I intend to make it back to see you again. I'm sure I'll have tons of questions by the end of this..."
In posession of a key that many, many beings inside the Matrix will kill for, you have been directed by the Oracle into the Mountains outside the city, where you will find two places- a Fortress, and a Monastery. At the Fortress, you are to meet with the King Sennacherib. But at the Monastery you will find the door that the key unlocks.
Now you have a very difficult task ahead of you. Missions into the Mountains, whilst not forbidden, never really happen, for simple logistical reasons...

The Real
"Because there aren't any hardlines out there!" exclaims Ariadne.
"We'll make it out there!" says an ever confident Dallas
"Well you may well do, but what about when you need to get back? I can't pull you out. What if you need more weapons? What if the Agents show?"
"A-ha!" says Dallas. "How are they going to do that? There isn't anyone out there!"
"There's network coverage," says Finn, on the comms. "We'll be able to stay in contact on the phones."
"There we go then!" says Dallas. "You found anything yet?" Ariadne sighs.
"Yeah, I think I've got it. Looks pretty innocouous. No sign of this Fortress though. Guess you'll have to get out there to see that. Seriously though Dallas, nerver mind the Agents then, what about the Exiles? From what the Oracle said there's a whole bunch of them out there. Isn't what happened at the Museum enough?"
"We all got away!" says Dallas.
"Yeah, using the hardlines!"
"You worry too much! Besides, we all know what we are doing now. And going out there is the last[ thing anyone will be expecting us to do. We'll just have to pick our hardware carefully."
"How are you going to get out there?" asks Finn.
"Ah," says Marduk. "Dallas and myself have some ideas there."
"Hey ladies," says Sequel, coming in from the front. "Broadcast point coming up. I'm setting her down. Best not waste any time."
"So what is it to be?" asks Marduk."Are we going to the Monastery or the Fortress?"

"It seems that we should meet with this "King" fellow in order to gain knowledge about the door. Do we know anything about him? On the other hand, Monastery seems like a less violent place."- Melkor answers Marduk`s questions, hoping that he will not make a fool out of himself again.

"Yeah, if we go to the Monastery we should be able to find this door and find out about this King Shenebb....King Sennab......about Elvis" Cloud says, unable to remember the King's name.
"I say the Monastery. We have no idea what we're getting into, and it'd be better to learn as much about the King as possible before even setting foot in his fortress," Hawk reasons.

"This King Sennacherib seems like some kind of megalomaniac, so we would have to be really careful about his pride, perhaps we will even have to humble ourselves a bit. Though if those Exiles feel so superior, why do they use titles derived from human history and mythology?
What about splitting our group?"

"They live in a world of Human culture," says Marduk. "other titles would have no meaning. I don't think we should split once we are in the Mountains, if possible."

"My vote also lies with the Monastery," Mors adds. "Most likely we can discover more about the King from there...and likely we will not be charging into a dangerous situation. It's a Monastery, after all."
